Video Recap of Weekly Search Buzz :: October 9, 2015

This week in search, I posted the monthly Google webmaster report. I also covered the new hacked sites algorithm Google launched, but is it only impacting spammy queries. Google may have had an update early this week, hard to say for sure. Bing also may have updated their search rankings. Google’s Panda update is rolling out still and that part is automated. Google says don’t remove content to fix Panda issues, make better content. Google said if you do remove content use no index over 404s. Google said it is best not to build a site based on public data. Google said if more people used the rel=author then they’d use it. Google says if a scraper is outranking you, then your site might have search quality issues. Google launched AMP, Accelerated Mobile Pages. Google is testing a new “live” label in the search results. Google AdWords has a quick link to both the search terms and negative keywords report. Google AdWords has a new report named shopping assortment report. Google AdWords has a new ad customizer for location of the searcher. Google AdSense is now faster to sign up with. That was this past week in search at the Search Engine Roundtable.
